A day at a time

One day at a time
is all we can do
but that means
that we have to
make do with two
things : life - love.

Tristan and Isolda redux

Listening to Liebesnacht
A long night’s love
But king Marke’s loss
Of friendship and trust
Is much more gripping
Thus  this dark trauma
Sings of sadness’ sounds
Reducing Tristan and
Isolda’s endless plight
Of their dual dream
With the kind Cornwallian
To  - at last - Liebestod

Apology to Wagner

Gaia's pibe

Yonder hills and dales
of Arcady and Hails
here is Spring again
and yet so in vain
not for mom nature
since the sure rupture
of industry and tourists
she is no  skull - a Yorick
She blooms and thrives
humans cut with knives
so a plague beckons
while death seconds
and says Gaia's breath
is my go-to meth
the seas and streams
taste a new pipe dream.

in time of bound

Retro-Introspecting
housebound
cleaning closets?
throwing out stuff
it is not - that I can't
it is not - that I won't
but it is just not me
don't look back much
I am living today
because that
is after all - all I got
if that is retro
or intro - speculation
that is fitting
for a day inside
my cell - hell -well
of loneliness
 

Corona limerick

There once was a covid from hell
it sounded like a doomsday bell
it danced and pranced
took lives most advanced
We all felt its boom boom death knell

Crown on the earth

Pride will be our bane
because we are so vain
coronavirus and more
will evict us galore
nature will desire
with water and fire
that  humans die out
and earth turn about.

My traveling companion

Standing outside
Waiting to be gone
A colorful reminder
Of bygone trips
A broken handle
Can no longer fix
Alas dear friend
You served me well
On happy occasions
One or two not so
Most of the time
With cabin fever
Dancing away
With your content
A time in the hull
With multiples like you
But you were special
Because I entrusted
You with everything
So fare the well
My little companion
A striped carry-on !
